The rammed earth or Pise is one of construction techniques that presents many advantages of availability, inexpensiveness of production costs and potential resources with a very low carbon footprint, and more importantly its low energy consumption. The goal of this work is to investigate the influence of hemp particles on the performance improvement of rammed earth, especially thermal properties, related to the thermodynamic behavior of the building in terms of efficiency and sustainability. The simulations of this preliminary experimentation aim at the physical and mechanical characterization of the soil and hemp mixture. The present work aims to determine along the advantages, the issues that can be produced during the formulation of rammed earth and hemp mixture, also the result of the study would help to the determination of the appropriate sample with the adequate formulation (percentage of Hemp) basing on the results of the used characterization. The challenge is in the use of local materials in building for energy efficiency and environmental, economic and social sustainability. Copyright (c) 2022 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
